According toOverwatch 2players who got to try out Stadium early, Stadium deliberately breaks the game by giving heroes insanely powerful abilities and upgrades. Some, like Reinhardt’s Fire Strike leaving a trail of lava or Reaper gaining free flight during Wraith Form, have been seen before inOverwatch 2game modes like Junkenstein’s Laboratory, while others are brand new.Overwatch 2has gone on record saying it hopes Stadium will become a permanent new pillar through which fans play the FPS, so it is clear Blizzard has high hopes for the game mode.
April 22 marks the start of Season 16, and the official addition of Stadium. 14 of the 43 heroes inOverwatch 2will be available in the game mode starting in Season 16, with more planned to be added over time. In the week between April 14 and Season 16’s launch, players can expect to learn even more about the game mode, assumedly including the list of heroes, maps, and upgrades that will be used in Stadium.
Season 16 promises to be an exciting update forOverwatch 2, even without including Stadium.
